I also don&#39;t know about the backgrounds - the only places I can see is where it says &quot;background&quot; next to a colour code but as you have changed your colours I gather you have seen that. Sorry not to be of more help but glad you were able to install menusJohanna GGGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-57177107367796702152013-07-25T09:34:37.657+10:002013-07-25T09:34:37.657+10:00I&#39;ve used the same codes as you to install my ...I&#39;ve used the same codes as you to install my drop down menus but NO MATTER what I do I cannot get the individual tabs background color to change!

I still find wordpress plugins a mystery but it seems that blogger is easier for novices (I could be wrong here).
